Orange Ball Squad
Squad Tennis coaching for kids 8-10yrs
The Orange Ball Squad is designed for players aged 8 to 10 years who are ready to build strong foundations and develop good habits early in their tennis journey.
Squad Coaching provides a more challenging training environment than standard Group or Private Coaching, using structured drills and match play scenarios to help players develop confidence, consistency, and competitive awareness.
Players are grouped by ability, with sessions tailored to suit each group’s age, stage of development, and skill set, ensuring appropriate challenge and progression.
